Matrix Games Forums

I recently started a PBEM game of NII. After completing the first turn as the French, I saved the file and e-mailed it to my opponent. When he tried to open the file, it asked him for a password. He had none and was unable to open the file. Upon trying to open it myself, the file again asked for a password. I experimented with severa lwords but none worked. I couldn't opoen the file. The manual has nothing in it concerning a security process and the one PBEM I played before required none. It appears that one of the updates may have created a security protocol. Please advise.

I am looking for an answer for this too George....

Great, maybe now someone at Matrix will finally pay attention.  Scott L., a member of iNWC, and I are experimenting.  We went back to the original version, 1.02, and started a new game.  The "password" screen showed up when I received his file and tired to "start" a game.  I put one a password in, but thereafter no matter what I did, the game did not start, just went back to the beginning of the section process.

Last year I played an PBEM game with another guy for a while--the security system never reared its ugly head.  We played several turns by e-mail, no password screen ever arose.  He then disappeared, which was weird because he was winning handily as the Austrians, and unfortunately the saved PBEM files from game are long gone.  I have no idea what I did to start that game and avoid the security system; I didn't even know it existed until Scott and I tried to start a game in 1/2010.  If do you happen upon the answer, please let us know.  My e-mail is georgemeyer@msn.com.  (I also belong to iNWC.)

Well George we might as well forget about it because now my copy of the game no longer works.... [:@] Wonder if someone deactivated it....I uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my machine, cleaned all of the folders out...won't load....
 
I spent well over $200 replacing games that Matrix sells that all of a sudden my CD's stopped working....now it appears be doing it all over again.... [:o] [:@]
 
At least my other games still work....I really want to like Matrix, but they continue to have games that are just lemons and rip unsupecting people off.... [:-] Campaigns on the Danube is a perfect example and so is this game... [X(] [:-]
 
Oh well let's play HPS or Forge of Freedom or something else...something that works.... [8|]
